WASHINGTON, (JTA) - A series of denials was is- • sued here Oct. 25 in connec¬ tion with an article in "Roll¬ ing Stone" magazine alleg¬ ing that Israel has been systematically stealing uranium from Western stockpiles to produce an ar¬ senal of nuclear bombs' I State Department spokes¬ man John Trattner told re¬ porters, "We don't have a thing" on the story and noted that it was "denied" by the Israeli Embassy. An Em¬ bassy spokesman, said earlier that Israel has never stolen or secretly purchased
enriched uranium "either in the United States or any¬ where else in the world,"
"Rolling. Stone" associate editor Howard Kohn and Barbara Newrtian, a Washington correspondent for NationalRepublic Radio, who co-authored the article, said at a press conference; that the account of the hi¬ jackings of four European uranium •', shipments by.

The article claimed that former Presidents Lyndon
B. Johnson and Gerald R. Ford knew smuggling was taking place at the,nuclear plant in Pennsylvania but ^directed that no investiga¬ tion be made. ;
A spokesman for Ford said Oct. 25 that "the President 'was briefed as to a possible diversion of some uranium" but "it Was not so conclusive to be considered a hard type of evidence." A spokesman for British Nuclear Fuels Ltd., said "the story is ab¬ solute nonsense."
